Chicago Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights Under Law v. Craigslist, Inc.
''Chicago Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights Under Law v. Craigslist'' is a 2008 Seventh Circuit decision affirming a lower court ruling that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) provides immunity to Internet service providers that "publish" classified ads that violate the Fair Housing Act (FHA).〔(Chicago Lawyer's Committee For Civil Rights Under Law v. Craigslist, Inc. No. 07-1101 (7th Cir. 2008). )〕
==Background==
Craigslist maintains a posting service that allows its customers to advertise rental properties. Some customer posted advertisements have included clauses like "NO MINORITIES" and "Requirements: Clean Godly Christian Male",〔(Craigslist sued over discriminatory ads, Associated Press, Feb. 9, 2006 )〕 both of which violate the provisions of the Fair Housing Act (FHA). While Craigslist has pulled such advertisements (and has a policy requiring customers who post classified ads to adhere to the FHA), Craigslist does not prescreen advertisements prior to publication on their site, and , refuses to do so. Instead, Craigslist depends on users to report abusive advertisements, which are then examined and removed if found to be inappropriate. In 2006, Chicago Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights Under Law sued Craigslist for maintaining the service in violation of the FHA.
Prior to trial, Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster publicly asserted that, "It is our understanding that the law is very clear to the effect that sites like Craigslist cannot be held legally liable for the content of postings submitted by end users."〔(Craigslist -- or Blacklist?, Abed Moiduddin, BusinessWeek, Feb. 9, 2006 )〕 A lawyer for the Chicago housing group, Stephen Libowsky, disagreed with that assessment, stating that the goals of the lawsuit are to ensure that "...Internet places like Craigslist treated no differently than newspapers and other media who have traditionally been posting real estate advertisements. All of the gains are going to get lost if the same rules don't apply."〔(Craigslist sued over discriminatory ads, Associated Press, Feb. 9, 2006 )〕
